You'd be better served asking this question a few lines down in the Model Railroader forums. Many more HO scalers there who likely use the same couplers should be able to give you far more detailed help than most of the large scale railroaders who hang out in the Garden Railways forums.

If you are trying to mount it on your car it will either fit into a box on the car or you have to use the box that came (or should of) with it.

There a many different types of kadees (and knock offs) for different applications.

More info at - http://kadee.com/htmbord/coupler.htm

i am using a new coulpler for model trains and i cant connect it

      

Looks like a Kadee, whaddaya mean "cant connect it". Are you, A: mounting it to a car/loco? or B: connect it to another coupler? What scale is that coupler? I'm not sure its G scale, does it have a number?

if A: What are you trying to mount it onto?

if B: describe the other car and the coupler on it.

The information provided makes it impossible to help, too broad.Confused [%-)]

   Have fun with your trains
